On Wednesday June 24th, 18 year old Althea Bernstein was driving home when a group of white men set her on fire, causing her to suffer third degree burns. 

“I was listening to some music at a stoplight and then all of a sudden I heard someone yell the N-word really loud,” she told Madison 365. “I turned my head to look and somebody’s throwing lighter fluid on me. And then they threw a lighter at me, and my neck caught on fire and I tried to put it out, but I brushed it up onto my face. I got it out and then I just blasted through the red light... I just felt like I needed to get away. So I drove through the red light and just kept driving until I got to my brother’s [home].”

This is not okay. Althea Bernstein deserves justice.
